Hi Readers,
I'll be posting less frequently for a while. My hands will be filled with my darling identical twin girls, who arrived in time to prevent any Olympic stitching.
Best, C

Marching Band Update
Since posting the other night, I've learned that this is the Eastern High School Marching Band, and they've been practicing all week to prepare to play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival in Canton, Ohio, this Saturday. Two of the six players being inducted are former Redskins players, and this is a great honor for the band. For some of the background on their story (and why the Redskins organization stinks and Matchbox rules), read this story and this one from the Washington City Paper.
Pathetic
That's me - Pathetic.
Since March, I've been challenging myself to write at least 10 blog posts a month. In July, I only managed 8, and none of them are about stitching. Even FridayFeast has let me down - they've been on hiatus since July 11.
It's been a crazy month, and August doesn't look to be any less crazy.
Here's where I am with my stitching projects and my "goals" for August.
1. I finished the threadwork on my nephew's birth sampler. I need to wash, iron, and bead it this month, so I can take advantage of my birth month discount when getting it framed. The beading should really only take an evening or two.
2. Work on the next nephew's birth sampler. I started it at the beginning of July and was hoping to have it done by now. It's another band sampler, and it should stitch up quickly if I spend the time on it. There's only a little bit of vining on this one. It's why I started this one rather than the third nephew's sampler.
3. Continue working on the angel ornament I started in June for the Bride's Tree SAL. I did work on this a couple of evenings this past month. I think I'm about a third of the way done. I've decided I'll keep working on this until it's done or I'm completely bored with it before moving on to the next SAL ornament.
